    Plumber explains what radiator numbers really mean and why you should 'leave it' at 3

    What's in a name? I repeat - a normal TRV fitted radiator, limits or restricts the temperature in the room. A room thermostat, is there to call for heat, when the temperature falls too low. As such, the two cannot work effectively if co-located, in the same heated space.

    Door hinge screws not secure, quick fix?

    That would be as long as I would need, applying logic. That was the sort of job I would have taught myself to do, and did, as a 12 year old. Even more obvious, and simpler. Why is no one learning any basic, practical skills these days, is a question we ought to be asking. Why are so many...

    OK, and who is in charge of the vehicle, and who simply does as he is told by the driver?

    New High tech cameras to enforce 20mph roads

    I do absolutely agree with the limits, if I didn't make that clear - on both a safety, and amenity point of view, but without proper enforcement they are pointless...

    Domestic Aircon power supply

    Most are not a constant draw of 3Kw, if you think about it. Fan heaters, washing machines, driers, all usually include a thermostat, and switch off frequently, allowing both socket, and plug to cool down.

    What’s going on here?

    Yep, it bonded itself to the cores, and needed some effort to get it completely off.

    New High tech cameras to enforce 20mph roads

    The 20mph is absolute nonsense, and will remain so, unless it is enforced, and enforcement is quite rare. I've just done a bus trip, to and from the local town, sitting at the front, of a double-decker, where I was easily able to see the driver's own speedo. Unlike car speedometers, these are...

    I would be wary of even that, as a long term solution, if the 3Kw is a constant, uninterrupted 3Kw.

    That is rather like having two drivers, controlling the one vehicle - it is doomed to failure.

    What’s going on here?

    VIR was certainly still being installed through to the early 1960's, though PVC was also being used.

    Doorbell issue

    They offer a range of systems, one self powered push, able to work at 1300 feet. https://tecknet.co.uk/products/tecknet-self-powered-doorbell-with-3-receivers You could fit two receivers in the house, the other in the shed audible at the gate, for feedback to the postie etc. Generally, the...

    Radiator brackets needs extending

    Are you aware those brackets can be fixed in two orientations? One with radiator close to the wall, other with radiator further out from the wall.

    Bizarre outside bottle gully problem

    You cannot really check that, maybe ask if your drainage company can investigate.

    Both 'fighting', to be in charge of the heating, so neither is able to work to a satisfactory level.

    Fuse box tripping?

    The only way for the OP to progress this, is to make a start, yet he seems somewhat reluctant.

    Attic condensation after insulation install

    It will be making the whole problem much worse, and increasing the moisture levels throughout the house generally - find another way, and get rid of it.

    Bl**dy council

    I have edited my original post in this thread, to help the hard of thinking, sad individual Nosenowt, who professes to live in a skip yard - understand that I obviously didn't imply that the collection was actually free, rather it was included as an already paid for, part of my council tax.

    Plumber explains what radiator numbers really mean and why you should 'leave it' at 3

    Which completely defies logic - why/how could it possibly? The normal TRV, is there to limit temperature, the room thermostat is there to switch off the boiler, when heat from it is no longer required. How can the stat work effectively, when the TRV is already limiting the temperature rise? In...
